Seriously. I will not bow down around my neighbors. I will not tip toe. I will not watch what I say for fear someone won't like me. I don't really give a crap who likes me and who doesn't. I am tired of all of the immature and high schoolish behavior in this neighborhood. Everyone needs to grow up.
Months ago I pissed off people by posting a warning on our FB page about a babysitter who instructed my kids to lie to me about having a boy over. They said I was slandering her and I shouldn't have posted it. Um, if someone else had that experience with a babysitter I also used, I would want to know. Any responsible parent would. Clearly the ones who were pissed really did not have their children's best interests at heart. Use the girl! Let her tell your kids to lie. See if I care. Then one of the residents that got pissed, decided that HER daughter would no longer babysit for us. Clearly she thought it was ok for someone to tell kids to lie to their parents so her daughter probably would have done it as well. I definitely don't want her daughter babysitting if that is the case.
Then there was the case of the "family potluck" that we were told we would have to pay for a babysitter if we wanted to come too. Everyone supposedly paid one of the girls in the paragraph above to babysit their kids while they did the "family potluck". Um, if I am going to pay for a sitter it is going to be to go out with my HUSBAND, not hang out with self rightous snobs.
Then there is the group of women who clearly think they are better than me. Why, because their kids are on the swim team? They are part of the PTA? Because they get together and talk crap about those in the neighborhood that are not as good as them? These women stick their nose up at us, turn their heads as we walk by, tell their kids not to play with ours. That is real good people. Teach your kids to be as judgmental as you are!
One of these women, who has never said a word to me and refuses to get to know me, has a husband who may run for the neighborhood HOA board. A friend of mine said that the couple was "really very nice" and that I should vote for him. I told her hell no. He has never said a word to me either. He is purposely rude anytime we are in the same room. I have never done anything to him. I guess James upset him at a poker game because James took all his money. So that gives him the right to treat me like crap? James is him. I am me. We are not the same person. And if you, or anyone else, expects me to vote for you when you treat me like crap, you have another thing coming. Do not judge me if you don't get to know me.
So in the last week there was a thread on our FB page about a possible grocery store going in on a corner that is slated for apartments from a huge development. I had posted that I emailed the company that owned the development and was waiting for an answer. Today I posted the response which was simply that they would love to have a grocery store but could not confirm anything at this time. The original posters wife came back almost immediately and posted a very rude response to me about her husband already giving us all that info. Um, ok. I responded nicely that I was giving info from the builder and without people like her husband in the neighborhood we would not know some of this information and have stuff to be excited about. Then I complemented her on her newborn who really is very cute. I will just chalk it up to new mommy hormones. Can't imagine there is yet another brat living in this neighborhood. I think we are at our limit.
